I have study some of your pictures and it didn't take me long to figure out what your showing us. It's the stillnees, its about being calm!

As for the critique, even though you have red inside the boat and along the sky, the boat works the sky no. Its the contrast that seem off to me. Since you are breaking alot of rules might as well break them all.
Its got some repeating lines, but no power points, Not saying I don't like the image.

Just a critique.

This is one of the photographs that just pulls you into the center of the image, with the diagnols of the rocks, that lead you to the horizon and the clouds suck you to the center as if, it was the end of the world. To me it looks as if it just falls off. I think, the rocks to left show a anchor.

Wish I was sitting there with you. Great stillness.

No really down points for me in this photo, you have set a good mood.

One thing what if you had waited an 1/2 to hour later.And ran longer shuttter lets say 3 to 5 mins, at low iso and used maybe a small amout of light on your rocks (like panning your flashlight back and forth along the rocks.

Of course I know it was outake for 2 sec challenge.

But I think, good things come to those who wait.
I think it need a title also.

Nice shot,

I do not make much of a presence on this website but first and foremost I loved your Water II entry and am thrilled you won a blue ribbon. Secondly, I just had to make a post challenge comment because otherwise I would be the only DPC'r left in the Northern Hemisphere who hadn't. With greatest respect, congratulations.

Would be better if there were some bright light shinging through the crystal. It would add something that would really grab your attention.

I love this shot and am very jealous of the scenery bear has at his disposal! Good job once again.
